The Key to her Heart

Chapter Twenty-Six

My eyes had adjust to the darkness and I could see Karina shaking. I don't know if it was because she needed more blankets or if it was because she was scared for her life. And who's baby is she pregnant with? I then hear the lock break and Karina jumps out of bed.
"Here, follow me." The nurse said.
The nurse guided Karina to the bathroom and I followed the two.
"Step into the tub." The nurse said.
"Ow!" Karina mumbles as she enters the tub.
"I'll hide behind the door." I whisper.
The nurse nods and steps in the tub with Karina. She closes the curtain and I hide behind the door. Whoever was outside the door was now inside the room. He was dressed in what the nurse had described him in. His knife was held captive in his right hand. The guy was looking around. He noticed the bathroom and slowly started to enter it. Shit! Well I guess he tried to come into the restroom because when he tried to enter the restroom he bumped into the wall.
"Fuck!" The guy shouts.
I start to hear whimpers coming from the bathtub. I look at the bathtub and notice that the curtain is moving. Damn if they don't stop moving they're going to get caught . . . but I won't let that happen. When the guy was finished cursing himself out he finally entered the restroom. I began looking around for an object that I could turn into a weapon but I couldn't find anything.
Damnit! The guy look around and he spotted me or he looked in my direction because he just stood there he was and tilted his head. I think he was trying to figure out if I was a person or an object. So I hold my breath to keep my chest from moving in and out. The guy takes a step forward and I don't move.
"I know you're there." The guy said.
"Do I know you?" I asked.
"No."
"Then why-"
"Where is she?" The guy asked, cutting me off.
"Who?" I asked.
"You know who I'm talking about."
"No, no I don't." I said.
"You think I'm stupid?"
"I don't know, are you?"
The guy chuckles a little.
"You should watch your mouth son."
"Aren't we the same age?" I asked.
"No, I'm nineteen and your like seventeen, sixteen, like that lying bitch!"
"Now you should watch your mouth." I said.
"Why should I? She is lying." The guy said.
"About what?" I asked.
"Being pregnant."
So is this guy Micheal? How does he know Karina is pregnant? Did he get her pregnant on purpose?
"So if you know she's pregnant why are you trying to kill her?" I asked.
"Because it'll kill the baby and I don't need a sixteenth baby." Micheal said.
My jaw dropped. Sixteen babies?! Who has sixteen babies?! Sixteen babies at the age of nineteen. Some of them got to be triplets and or twins.
Does he have STD's? More importantly does Karina have them? No . . . no she couldn't because she'd be hurting in her crotch area and she seemed fine when I was around her but I'm not a girl so I wouldn't know. In the corner of my eye I see the shower curtain move. I look at it and slowly start to move from behind the door.
"Don't take another step!" Micheal yelled.
"What's a knife going to do?" I asked.
Micheal drops his head and laughs. He drops the knife on the ground and reaches into his pocket.
"You're right." He said after a while. "What is a knife gon' do?"
He pulled out what looked like a gun and pointed it at me. I raise my hands up in surrender.
"Alright, alright, you got me." I said. "Don't shoot."
Karina shrieks and Micheal turns to the shower curtain. He looks back at me and lowers the gun. I start to see a little white appear on his face so I'm assuming that he was smiling. I smirk on the other hand because a plan just popped in my head. When Micheal gets to the tub he yanks the curtain open. Karina screams and I run up behind him (silently) and kick him in the balls. He falls to his knees and the nurse pepper sprays him.
"Come on, lets go!" I say, helping Karina out of the tub.
"Where are we going?" She asked.
"I don't know." I said as we began to run.
We make it to the exit but the automatic doors are locked. Damn it!
"Move!" Someone said.
I look behind me and see Karinas nurse running up to us. I didn't even know she was following us. She had her keys out and ran up to the the door. She unlocked the door and shoved them open. She ran to the other doors and shoved them open. Karina and I follow her.
"Wait!" Karina yells, trying to catch her breath.
She placed her hand over her wound and hunched over.
"I don't think you should do that." I said, gently pushing her to stand up straight.
"I'm in my hospital gown." Karina said.
"So?" I asked.
"The back is open and I don't have clothes on, not even a bra." Karina said.
My ears perk up. No bra she say? That means she doesn't have panties on either! I try to sneak a peak but Karina caught me and slapped me, hard.
"Ow!" I said, holding my now warm cheek. "It doesn't matter, I have clothes in my car."
I start to run to the parking garage while Karina laughs a little.
"I'm sorry, do you expect me to wear your clothes?" Karina asked.
I stop running and look at her.
"Well . . . do you have a better idea?" I asked.
Karina looks at me for a long moment. She then sighs and runs up to me.
"Where's your car?" Karina asked.
"Follow me." I said stealing one last glance at the hospital doors.
